confused

I'm having a similar problem.

I set up my router according to this web tutorial...

http://portforward.com/english/route...4G/default.htm

Now I can host a game, but it still tells me that my router might not be configured correctly...

I can host online and run a dedicated server, but I'm not sure if anyone else can see me.

Same problem here and I can tell that nobody sees you ^^... I checked with my brother.

Portforward.com is a great site & very useful, but this will only help people with a Linksys WRT54G router It WILL tell you a number of ports to open however, which is useful. If you have a different router you can go here: http://portforward.com/english/routers/port_forwarding/routerindex.htm, which will allow you to choose from a large range of routers, depending what make/model you have - you can then choose from a similarly vast range of applications, & you'll be taken to a tutorial, with screenshots, which will show you how to open those ports through your particular router

I'm a PS3 gamer & had similar connection problems, which I've now managed to resolve by opening a range of ports through my router. I've just posted to this thread: http://gearsforums.epicgames.com/showthread.php?t=586108 full details of those ports. Like I said there, I don't know whether they're all applicable to both PC & PS3 or whether some are specific to one platform or the other, but I'm now able to play UT3 online Hope it can help you out too

The best advise is to just contact router support. They made me do things I would have never had a clue to do and now the problem is solved.

For most routers you should first add your LAN ip where UT3 is running by using web administration. Then go to Virtual Server (name can be differ for your router) section, select added previously ip from the list & add (map) UDP ports: 7777, 6500 & 13000, Save & Restart router. That is all.

If your ADSL modem is in bridged mode then you just check your firewall settings on the host computer without managing your modem via web administration.

If by "that is all" you mean that 7777, 6500 & 13000 are the only ports that need opening, I'm afraid that's not correct (at least for the PS3 version). The list of ports I listed in the other thread was specified by Epic themselves

Then try to convince Dubious to update his FAQ.

That's not up to me - I'm just trying to help people out. It depends on how secure people's networks are - a number of the ports are outbound. I know some routers allow all traffic out by default, but anyone interested in security would probably switch that off, or they're easy prey to any trojans that might infect their system.

I'm not interested in turning this into a multi-page thread arguing about who's wrong & who's right - basically, I've posted what works for me on my PS3; users can feel free to make use of the info I've found or not, at the user's discretion
